Merry Christmas!

Hello Everyone,
Sorry it has been awhile between posts... This time of year it is super busy, so just a quick post today.
We have had Christmas Parties and get-togethers pretty much every weekend since end of November...
I cannot belive it is only 5 more sleeps till Christmas Day! It has gone so quick. And I still have a few things to get done before then.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas xx

Christmas Extravaganza Day

We had our Annual Christmas Extravaganza Day Event on Sunday 7th November.

The day was so much fun, we all had a blast. We had 20 Ladies come along for a day of crafting. Here are a few photos from the day for you to take a look at.

And last but not least- Here are ALL 8 Projects we made on the day!

Stamp Club Project

One of my Stamp Club Ladies went to a Cupcake making course, so I thought when it was her turn at being the "Hostess" we would make one of these boxes. It turned out great and it looks even better when there are Cupcakes in it!



You could also make a box similar using Christmas papers and put a Christmas Cake in as a nice gift for someone.
